- Short: WB2.04 patch for trackdisk delays.
-
- Full Description:
-
- Quite a lot of pple reported problems under 2.04 and the fact that some
- drives corrupt data. From what I gather this is due to the fact that the
- delays for both Step and Settle are different and some marginal drives
- will not handle the timing correctly. TDUpdate solves this problem by
- allowing the user to change the delays in the public part of the TDUnit
- structure of trackdisk.device in V37. While we are at it we also disable
- the clicking.
-
- Usage: TDUpdate by itself will list the current settings for all units.
- TDUpdate ? will show the usage and author.
- TDUpdate <Settle> will set the settle delay to <Settle> useconds.
- TDUpdate <Settle> <Step> will set the settle delay to <Settle>
- useconds and the step delay to <Step> useconds.
